Candidates urged to declare stand

on Bill of Rights

TORONTO

As part of its campaign for a Bill of Rights, the League for Demo- cratic Rights has issued in pamphlet form, under the title, Our Heritage of Liberty, an address given by Roscoe Rodd, QC, its national chair- man, to the recent Eastern Canadian Conference on Civil Liberties.

In addition, the LDR is preparing a folder to be sent to every

candidate in the forthcoming election urging support for and endorsation of a Bill of Rights.

A foreword to Our Heritage of Liberty states:

It is a stirring reminder to the people of Canada that the rights and freedoms they enjoy today did not come by chance. They were won by their ° ancestors through courageous actions and -years of suffering. These free- doms represent great struggle and sacrifice on the part of English- men, Frenchmen, Dutchmen, Greeks, Russians, Americans, Ne- groes, Chinese—by men and wo- men of many tongues and of all races and creeds who brought to this country concepts and aspira- tions for human progress.

This is a timely reminder. Re- cent actions by the government of Canada and some provincial legislatures indicate that Cana- dians must be on guard for their traditional rights and liberties.

By. secret orders-in-council, the dominion cabinet may at any mo- ment take away our ‘time-honor- ed freedoms. In the proposed re- vision of the Criminal.Code are revealed official intentions to re- strict and destroy the individual’s right to liberty, safety and securi- ty; the right to freedom of asso- ciation, expression and thought; the right to ‘a fair trial and to: protection against arbitrary arrest and excessive, unjust punishment.

In jeopardy in Canada today are labor’s traditional rights and privileges.

There are many examples of continuous attacks upon the rights guaranteed by Magna Charta, the Petition of Right, the Bill of Rights and other statutes which form the foundations of democratic society.

Here too is a challenging ap- peal to Canadians not only to pro- tect their heritage of liberties but to create and produce new liber- ties to meet their needs as citi- zens in a modern, dynamic age.

In June, 1950, a Special Com- mittee on Human Rights and Fun- damental Freedoms of the Senate of Canada recommended: That the parliament of Canada adopt a De- claration of Rights, as an immedi- ate though temporary measure, pending the incorporation into our constitution of a permanent Bill of Rights.

The League for Democratic Rights believes that one of the first acts of parliament in 1954 should be the adoption of a “De- claration of the Rights of Can- adians.” It should be patterned upon the United Nations’ Uni- versal Declaration of Human Rights and intlude: The right to freedom from discrimination; the right to freedom of speech, assembly, association, religion and citizenship; the right to per- sonal liberty, fair trial and equality before the law; the right to petition and to govern- ment of, by and for the people.

A “Declaration of the Rights of Canadians” should be adopted be- fore parliament begins to complete the revision of the Criminal Code.

It would be proper and useful for provincial legislatures and local governing bodies to endorse a “Declaration of the Rights of Canadians.”’ It should be endors- ed also by organizations and indi- viduals to help counteract the dangerous trend toward thought- control and “McCarthyism” in Canada. :

Copies of this pamphlet may be obtained at 25 cents each from the League for Democratic Rights, 346 Bloor Street East, Toronto, Ont.

Rev. Glendon F. Partridge, the Canadian Presbyterian minister who spoke at the graveside of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, was to he chief speaker at the Tor- onto memorial meeting.
